As long as this doesn’t turn out like the movie “The Ten Commandments.”
1) Shot of Moses and the Pharoah’s scorcerers dropping their staffs
2) Shot of amazed onlookers. One says “Look the staffs turned into serpents”. Lots of nodding. Another says “But Moses’ serpent is devouring the other serpents.” Still shooting the onlookers, some now pointing. “And now Moses’ serpent is turning into a staff again.”
3) Shot of Moses picking up his staff. Pharoah’s sorcerers looking scared.
Throught the whole scene, ZERO shots of the snakes. Man, that’s worse than even the Hoth Ice Monster. . . . 🙂

My point was that if we never see what Orion is looking at, I’ll be just as dissappointed as I was while watching The Ten Commandments. While I’m sure we’ll see it on Monday, the setup was too similar for me not to comment on it.

I suppose you’re talking about the 2007 version, since the transformation of the staves are shown in the old Paramount movie, (unless some remake has edited them out). The effects of Cecil B. DeMille’s version is amazing when you consider it was made back in 1956. No Computer special effects back them…

Well that’s typically alex, everybody is focused at the situation at hand and he is checking Staj. There is nothing like the teach slamming your desk to get attention back to class. (or a dragon’s fwoosh)

Wow, what a week indeed! I missed pretty much all of it since I was so busy this week. So I’m catching up today.
For some reason I thought that spending so much time in Aethos was going to be a bad idea. Even though Alex did learn a lot, it still gave Nicodemus time to attack… I hope that the Dreamlanders survived the attacks unscathed – and I hope that they could prevent the children from being taken to the Nightmare Realm…
I’m still a bit shaken, but all in all anticipate the ending of this chapter, of course.

On a different note: I like the little detail that Felicity’s eyes are glowing brighter in the darkness than everyone else’s.

Hmmm… Since the tablet was on a separate plateau, there may not be any civilian casualties, this time. And if the tablet isn’t destroyed by dragonfire, Orion’s “Oh no!”, could just be from the eminent danger that the tablet is in. Perhaps the tablet can still be saved?

Uh oh. I’m probably wrong but all I can see is Richard from LFG letting loose on the city. Fwoosh always precedes something horrible (often horribly amusing) happening. Probably not but I can dream, ok?

Love Felicity’s eyes in the first panel, and everyone’s expression in the second! I can’t wait to see what they’re seeing, but almost don’t want to, ’cause that can’t be good.

see fwoosh is an LFG thing… and I’d like to see how richard would kick lil’ dragon nic’s butt… (of course only after enjoying the show of all the burning kiddie centaurs…) (you’d have to read LFG to get it)

Haha! I love Richard! You ever see the video to the warped parody of the Beauty & the Beast song? Good times or should I say evil? 🙂

Maybe Scott should do a funny Dreamland video with the cast. Just a short little skit. It would be really cool to see them animated. I know what he does animation wise is a bit more involved than the LFG style.. but maybe he could just draw DL in a skit? That would be cool too. Just random thoughts! 🙂 Keep up the great work, Scott. I love Fwoosh and the lighting. 🙂

Well, it can be “typical Alex”, but it is also normal to check what just came up behind you. Now, for a bit of foreshadowing, notice that during the Fwoosh event, Felicity has to close her eyes and turn her head, Nastajia and Orion have to put their hands up to cover their eyes, but Alex….Alex (!)… squints and looks into the Fwoosh to see what is happening. Useful instincts for the future king of Dreamland methinks. Now, to wait on Monday to see what Alex does next.

Look to the third panel. I assume they are all looking towards the source of the event there. So, that means that even Alex looked away in the second panel. I can’t see the eyes that clearly, but it appears that Orion, even though directing his head away from the event, is directing his eyes towards it while shielding them.
